Can you recommend some? I’m at a point in my career and at an organization where this is a matter of survival way more than actual competence.



https://jaymeedwards.com/ provides some good content on his Youtube channel

https://www.amazon.ca/Elegant-Puzzle-Systems-Engineering-Man... helps to understand managing from an engineering perspective

To understand some of the history and context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-BOSpxYJ9M

A bit dated but still useful book: https://www.tablegroup.com/topics-and-resources/teamwork-5-d...

Best of all, for surviving at a difficult organization, invest in yourself and get a good therapist. I can't recommend this enough. Burnout is the worst but you can manage if you have solid, professional support to aid you.


I’ve been watching Jayme Edwards videos for the last couple of weeks and they’ve been very helpful. Just wanted to say thanks for recommending!
